For a few thousand years before Christmas humanity celebrated the winter solstice and the yule season. "Christmas" is a mash up of many sacred and wonderful "pagan" (christian term for non-christian) religions, plus christian, jewish and increasingly other modern religions. Saint Nicholas should be recognized and embraced as many entities: the spirit of the solstice and the personification of winter, the christian and patron saint of children, king of the elves and fairies. Just don't reduce Santa to the commercialized present toting caricature presented in hollywood movies and advertising media. Keep him mysterious and magical - he should be understood as a kind of mystery. then there is no conflict with those who want the holiday to be centered on Jesus.

How does your family celebrate Christmas? Elf on the shelf? Advent activities and chocolate? Do you play Santa? The options for how we celebrate Christmas with our children are ever-expanding. As Christmas approaches, social media is full of beautifully decorated trees, elves on shelves and advent displays. As a Christian mother, celebrating the Christmas season is something that is important to me. I want my children to learn about the birth of our Saviour, and I want them to associate the birth of Jesus with a wonderful celebration. The big thing weighing on my mind this year is Santa. In the secular world, to deny your children Santa is to deny them the magical, wondrous Christmas experience they deserve. Some parents like to go all out, fake phone calls from Santa (there’s an app), letters to the North Pole, and mountains of presents. This presents a serious challenge for Christian families who wish to pass down religious traditions to their children and keep the focus of the holiday on Christ. How do you balance celebrating Jesus with children’s adoration for Santa? Whom to Celebrate, and How to CelebrateIn Middle Age iconography, St. Nicholas was generally viewed as a slender, tall bearded man of God. So, how did he become the magical Santa Clause? Santa’s white beard and red clothes are similar to Sinterklaas’s bishop’s robes.
